[Diabetic ketoacidosis with severe hypertriglyceridemia and eruptive xanthomata (author's transl)].
A boy of 6 with diabetic ketoacidosis presented with a disturbance of lipid metabolism characterised by eruptive xanthomata, hepatomegaly, lipaemia retinalis, milky serum and hypertriglyceridemia with type V electrophoretic pattern. All the findings are typical diabetic hyperlipidaemia. The severity of the abnormalities are not solely due to delay in treatment because they are also caused by the unusual sensitivity of lipoprotein lipase to insulin deficiency. A histological and ultrastructural study of the xanthomata was performed.
